Eggplant coated in a little coconut oil, roasted for 10 minutes, flipped and then roasted for an additional 8 – 10 minutes, per the Dashi Eggplant instructions above.

Once the eggplant was in the oven, it was time to get busy on the stove top.

Cremini mushrooms – washed, quartered and the first of a few vegetables to get started in a coconut oil saute,

while five little heads of baby bok choy got their hair washed, styled and permed.

Look carefully. Can you predict where that boy choy is headed next?

You win!

Get out the tamari (or your sauce of choice)

With a few drollops (new word) of tamari, a tablespoon or so of grated ginger and some scallions, we’re almost there.

Check on that eggplant!

Flipped at the 10 minute mark, a little tamari splashed in with some garlic powder, back in the oven for 8 – 10 minutes while the veggies up top finished cooking.

Veggie Delight on a Friday night. Ready in less than 25 minutes.

For what this dish lacked in protein (major fail) it totally made up for with loads of flavor. Not to mention a number of different vegetables which is of course good for your guts.

Did I mention there was wine?

Cabernet, to be exact. It is Friday night after all.

(Do you see Ava sliding in there with her kiddie wine glass and the container of almond milk? I could be up for Parental Role Model of the Year.)

Ah well. Five plants foods, dinner for two grownups, all for one, and one for all. Or something like that.
